Okay, so we’re getting a bit of a late start  with the Etna Football Player of the Game awards.

Anyone who follows youth sports in Siskiyou County has likely heard of Paige Finley from Etna High School. What most people probably aren’t aware of is her complete sports resume. It is impressive.

I remember the first time I ever spoke to Paige. It was at a junior high school basketball tournament, and I was taking her picture for a publication I worked for at the time. She was getting what was then the equivalent of the SiskiyouYouth.com Impact Player Award. Paige is the only junior high school athlete to ever get the award.

I told her that it was just one of many awards she would receive during her athletic career. She flashed a shy smile and said, “thank you.”

Paige will be graduating from high school in a couple of weeks with a GPA of 4.0. She’s 16.

Among her athletic honors and achievements are:

College of the Siskiyous female high school Athlete of the Year

MVP of the Shasta Cascade League her junior year for basketball

SCL All-League for basketball as a senior

SCL All-League her junior and senior year for Softball

Pitcher on the NSCIF D-V softball champions her junior and senior year

Point guard on the SCL basketball champions her junior and senior year

Shared pitching duties on the SCL champion Lady Lions softball team her sophomore year (more…)
